I searched and I've searched some more and I cannot come up with anything so I am turning to the Allnurses forum for help. All my prereq's are done, the only school that I came across that has mainly and night and weekend LVN-RN program would be MiraCosta in Oceanside in northern San Diego County. I am located in Orange county and don't mind driving but MiraCosta is so impacted that even with a 3.3 GPA and 81% on the TEAS V I could not get in for this year. I am trying to avoid private schools due to the fact my credit is not so great right now, even though I am working on it, and am looking for public community colleges. Does anybody know of anything out there? Almost everything right now is 2-3 days during the work week and my hospital has me doing a M-F and can only miss one day per week..... Help!

Does anybody know where I can find a listing of 30 unit programs available in So Cal? I've searched and Havnt come up with too many besides Santa Ana (huge wait list) Citrus college (available fall 2014) Possibly Azuza Pacific University Mira costa CC... *specifically OC/IE/LA area*

Does Chaffeey offer a 30 unit option? I will give them a call. I went to all info meetings to local CC's in OC area, but at this point I'm willing to drive to ranching and other spots elsewhere. Thanks again for your input.

Where is chaffey? Cerritos I was told is 3-4 years out and they have clinicals usually 3 days during weekdays which would be a problem for my work. I have not looked into Rio Hondo. I definently will.

Thanks Caffeine, Tried sending a PM but I guess I don't have access to PM.. Could you email me? [email protected] I know Azusa Pacific University is opening up a bridge program for a 30 Unit RN next year... But nothing is set in stone.

Basically, I'm lost and need a little help/guidance. I have been a LVN for 6 years. I am desperately seeking to go back to school but cannot afford west coast. I'm in the process of finishing up all my Science pre req's as mine are all past 5 years. My job really needs me to get my RN to fill a upper management position that will be available shortly, and I want to further my education too. Currently it feels like its just about impossible to do that though. Santa Ana is a 5 year wait lost, saddleback is 4, cypress about 3-4, GoldenWest even longer. West coast is 100k bucks and I wouldn't be able to keep my job as well due to the class times.. My kids are in CA and I don't plan on leaving so even a 30 unit option would work for me, but I can't find one. I don't really know what to do at this point. Are there any programs in OC,IE,LA that are not insanely priced and are available in a less than a year waiting list. If I didn't have kids I would just go to school out of state for a year but I can't do that... Any advice?
